Rare treats in Carnatic Music 5

Here is the fifth one in the series (click here for the fourth one). It is an alapana and kalpanaswaras for a raga, for which elaboration is rarely done, but the krithi again is reasonably well known. The artist is very well known – a legend.

Now that you know the answer here is the full kalpanaswara section of the first clip, with the refrain from the krithi. Whenever he does kalpanaswaras, it is always a special treat, it is indeed a thing of beauty and a joy forever. Makes it seem so simple 🙂 :http://arunk.freepgs.com/blog/raretreats/rare_treat5_swaras.mp3
